A simplified integrated critical activity-based knowledge audit template

The purpose of this paper is to provide Knowledge Management Practitioners with a simplified and activity‐based Knowledge Audit process that is focused on identifying must‐have or critical knowledge in a for‐profit corporate organizational setting. The Knowledge Audit focuses on the critical business objectives specifically in a for‐profit environment, but may be applied to other forms of organization with some adaptation. The output of this Knowledge Audit is a set of three distinct inventories of knowledge needs intended to satisfy the recruitment needs of knowledge acquisition, the learning/training needs, and the knowledge base requirements to achieve organizational goals.
